I expect zero sleep starting December When I know what I want and have so little time to achieve it - I get prepared well As I see now in their FB page, GOD still closed and DJ still midnight. I doubt it will last more than a couple of weeks. Even if it does, as like it was when I was there - there is still plenty of fun outside before midnight and inside (Sanuas, Apps) after midnight. Don't skip BKK - it is the best city in the world

So it's Friday evening, 21st of October and I'm on my way to Bangkok fantasizing about a genuine muscle worship session. I'm worried I won't make it on time and that all the hot shredded guys will be taken. But first, a little about muscle worship (MW). Over the years I expanded my vanilla sex preferences into niches I discovered I liked. I have some kinks: watersports, leather, slapping and punching and some others. Thailand is not the place to fulfill most of them – the guys there are usually way too Vinal and just don't get it usually (Tel Aviv, Berlin and other major gay western cities are more appropriate for that). And don't get me wrong – I still like it Vinal and I'm fine with just normal sex as well. But, As long as I can remember myself, MW was my dominant kink. Since I was a boy, I was attracted to the male body, and especially to the muscles men have. But not only attracted to them in the visual manner like most guys I know but also in a the sense of feeling them and admiring them on another individual. The actual form of my fantasies regarding MW changed over the years and as I grew bigger so did the people I wanted to worship grew bigger. Also the muscles that turned me on changed. When I was younger I thought that it is just my thing. But thank god to Internet porn that shows us everyone has their fetish. It is a fetish because for me MW is making love to the muscles as the main object and not necessarily the person. A MW session, for me, does not usually involve penetration and I usually don't fuck the bodybuilder (BB) since they usually play a role that is more dominant in the session and that is where I play a more passive role (which is the only time I feel comfortable enough not being dominant in bed). It is very hard for me to find guys that do the role of MW good. It has to be someone narcissistic enough, experienced and aware of the MW scene. The physic is also super important for me. It has to be both very muscular and very lean - with both parameters equally important. Ideally, competitors of Men’s physique category contests just near the contests when there bodies are on top shape. Of course, this is the ideal - I can compromise for less LOL. I had some good sessions in the past but I always felt that if I just paid someone that is experienced in that he could understand exactly what I need from him. I can also enjoy it the other way around. I am not a professional bodybuilder in any way, but I am quite muscular and lean, and sometimes, during sex, I recognize people get turned on by worshipping me so I play that role and that can turn me on as well. Guess I'm narcissistic enough Anyway this long introduction is meant to explain MW for those that do not understand it. I find that some people find it weird and pointless while some find it hot. I am among the latter ones and it is on that background that stressed me regarding missing the Tawan Friday show. Landed at 21:15 and just hurried outside. Luggage came quick and taxi too. Road was a little jammed. Made it back to the meridien by 22:25. Showered and got dressed quickly and straight out to Tawan. Got inside the club at 22:40. It was not as full as I expected it to be. I sat down not far from the toilet just to see a super shredded bodybuilder and take a glimpse at his number: 48. He does leg exercises on the machine. I smile at him. He smiles back. The show starts. I was not sure when is the time to show more actively my interest. I spot in the club, the first and to that date the only guy I offed so far in my life, Soda. That was three years ago but seems to me like ages ago. He is still sexy but his shape was not as good as I remembered - very good on the lean side but can improve on the muscular side. It's either I became more picky or he changed a little. Probably both. He comes to say hi, and we exchange a few words but I don't invite him to sit down. He is not muscular enough for my demands now – and I already spotted my guy. When he (#48) performs at the show he does that with another guy, hot as he is - number 45. They both seem to be in top shape at that club that night, which as mentioned is both muscular and lean - but in a very massive yet aesthetic form. During his act he (48) looks at me and flexes his muscles in my direction. I tip him 100 baht into his underwear during the act and hopes he comes to sit with me later. That happened about 10 minutes later. We talk a bit. He shows off his muscles and let me touch his AMAZING & HUGE biceps. I ask him to come to my hotel, we discuss price (2000 baht) and I tell him what I want. He agrees, get dressed and we leave after I pay his off fee. I previously stated that I wanted a hotel with a 24 hour operating gym. The first thing I wanted to do with #48 is to workout. I wanted to see him pumping up his muscles and touch them as they grow from the exercises. Gym was empty at midnight as I predicted. He started bicep curls with weights on each hands. While he does that I look and in the second set I touch. His mountain biceps go up and down and my hands with them. His veins become even more visible than before and I get totally turned on. After that - on to some pecs bench press. He presses and I look and feel his amazing pecs through his shirt and also a little under. At that point I can't tell what is harder, his muscles or my cock. I tell him I want him to do some abs workout, topless while I hold his legs and he goes up and down. He does that and I see his perfectly shaped abs harden as he goes up. I am totally aroused and then we go up to my room. At the room, he started posing to the mirror even without being asked to. I put on a gay house music set knowing that it's an hour long so I will have a sense of time. I then took out a measurement tape I brought back from home for this purpose and start measuring him. He flexes his biceps as hard as he can to score the highest he can. I feel his efforts as his biceps turn huge and vascular. He allows me to take some photos so that I have some good memories to take home. I take his bicep, chest and waist measurements. At that point he is already in underwear. I then take out my previously purchased for this purpose baby oil. I start oiling his body. He knows what I want and flexes each part of his muscles as my hand rubs the oil on. My tongue comes after my hand licking his muscles. I give special emphasis to his most dominant muscle visually: Biceps. But I don’t leave any part of his body unoiled, untouched or unlicked in his now totally naked body. I also give special emphasis to his abs canals where the oil slips in and out of quickly with the help of gravity. I also swap my hand fast back and forth on his abs just to hear the amazing sound that oiled flexed abs create with some fast hand friction. All my senses work when worshipping this guy. Later on, I'm lying in bed with him sitting on me encouraging me to feel the muscles he is flexing while jerking me off. An important role of the guy being worshipped is that he wants to be worshipped and encourage the worshipper to touch and investigate his body - He plays that role to perfection. He then stands, encouraging me to worship his massive legs while he flexed the different lower muscles. His flexed calves make me wet. He sits down again and starts to jerk me off more rapidly. His bicep turns more vascular as he jerks me of and I touch and lick his popping veins till I cum not long after my music set ends. We showered together and I scrubbed every inch of that muscle man. He told me he was competing for Mr Thailand soon. I am not surprised considering his shape. At that shower we also discover he is only 5 days older than me We get dressed, I pay him. He takes out a pen and paper, writes his name in English: Boonthon and telephone number and tells me to call him if I want him to come again to my hotel. I was really satisfied after completing this session successfully and as planned. Was it good? No, it was more than that, it was amazing. Was it as good as I imagined it? No, that's the reason they call it a fantasies – It's always better in your head – but it was as close as I ever got there. It is possible that the last paragraph was way too descriptive than my usual posts. But this was not a usual thing for me so it deserves an unusual description. I was really tired after that. And it was probably about 1AM. But Vinapu's voice inside me told me not to give up to my tiredness and that the night is still young and I have many more things to see and do that night and so little time.

Disclaimer: This post has no sexual content. I take no responsibility regarding your wasted time if you decide to read it First, I forgot to address recent political changes in BKK. These changes were felt in BKK and almost not at all in the islands. In BKK the main meaning of that change was that everything dies at midnight. All the boy bars held only one show each night. DJ station was open till midnight and G.O.D closed. Alcohol sales at convenience stores stop at midnight as well. For an unknown reason that did not apply on the specific Family Mart near Le Meridian since both me and my new BF went there to buy beer in the middle of the night. The city vibe itself was in my opinion the same, only with fewer tourists, Now, on to my time in the islands. After leaving Babylon, It started to rain. There were no taxis outside Babylon so I told a motorcyclist to find me a taxi and gave him 50 baht for that. 3 minutes later a taxi came to Babylon entrance. 40 minutes and 400 baht later, I arrived at Suvarnabhumi and met my friend that came from Kyoto (she was my commander in the army 12 years ago). We planned to visit our friend in the island together. We are all friends from our military service time. We flew to Koh Samui together at 19:45 arriving at about 20:30. We had to stay a night in Samui since the ferry to Phangan ends at 18. I booked us a nice room at Chaweng regent beach resort for one night (134 USD) and we got an upgrade upon arrival. We went out probably at 22:00 for dinner and that's when I caught a touristic shock. Along the main streets there were masses of Israeli tourists. Everywhere there were signs in Hebrew and tuk tuk drivers combining Hebrew words while offering us to see dirty shows. I did not take an 11 hour journey just to be in Israel again and returned straight to the hotel after dinner. There were some potentially good grindr offers but I was sharing a room with her and also really not horny after cumming 5 times in BKK. So we went to sleep. At the morning, we went to the hotel's beach which was calmer than little Israel yesterday, but still - way too much Hebrew for me to hear on a vacation. Had a coconut smoothie, quick dip and went to the ferry to Koh Phangan. It's a 20 minutes ride ferry that made me a little sick but luckily it ended fast. We arrived and our friend greeted us. I took the Tuk Tuk to my resort - Sunset Hills (68 usd a night). My friend was staying at a cheap Villa near the sea but that was too shabby for me. The first thing I wanted to do after checking in was to rent a motorcycle (100 baht a day). With a motorcycle in the island you can go anywhere easily and it gave me some sense of real freedom and vacation. Koh Phangan is divided into several areas, including the party area (Haad Reen) and the yoga, Tantra, vegan, spiritual area (Sri Thanu). My friend lived at the latter which was good since although I am quite a club guy - that applies only to gay clubs. I hate clubbing with straight people. We arrived at a vegan nice place called Orion. It's literally on the sea in a very Hindu atmosphere. We just sat there, ate, and talked from 2PM to 2AM. People coming, people going. Lots of weird spiritual people that I usually don't get along with but this time it was OK. A lot of tantra and sex talk. With some guys it felt there were using Tantra just as an excuse to connect with women. Anyways, surprisingly for me I enjoyed that half a day chill which is usually way too much for me. Guess I needed it after intense BKK. At the hotel I opened grindr but none of the options were good so I went to sleep. At morning we took the motorcycles to a place called Sanctuary near Haad Reen. The way is quite dangerous and I now understand why Koh Phangan is also considered in Israel - death by motorcycle island. We arrived to Haad Reen beach that was surprisingly empty and beautiful because of the cancellation of the full moon party. We took a dip and then a taxi boat to the Sanctuary beach. It's a beautiful and isolated beach and resort with a good restaurant. We spent there probably six hours in total. It was an amazing beach day. On the way back we had seafood for dinner. I then started receiving some erotic photos from my new BF that reminded me of BKK and my contemplation regarding an early arrival. I discussed it with my friends over dinner, and they were surprisingly comprehensive. I changed my flight date for the next day - Friday. It was free of charge. Not sure why, probably just a high fare to begin with. We end the night at the beach, talking, drinking, chilling. I return to my room at 3AM. Again, no good options for someone to warm my bed at night so I go to sleep fantasizing about BKK the next day. On my last day we go to another beach, continue with the shake, dip, food routine. After that we go to the infinity pool in my resort, have drinks and I say my goodbyes and thanks to my friends. Island time was relaxing and fun – just what I needed after a BKK full day and before a BKK full weekend. Since my hotel was pre booked my friend left her shabby villa and had my room for a night, which she was very grateful for. Returned my motorcycle and took a taxi to the ferry. Probably 2 hours later I'm at Samui airport waiting at the gate. I am with my over ear full headphones listening to loud house music when I suddenly notice a guy walking around with my name written on a board. I identify at the gate. They say that they need to take me to my luggage. I go on a car to the luggage area and identify my suitcase. The security guy asks me to open my suitcase and I'm kind of afraid about what they found in the X Ray, although I knew that I have nothing illegal inside. I open and he immediately takes out the external power bank which was supposed to go in only on carry on luggage. I didn't know that and I apologize and take it, and the car then takes me to my flight. During the flight I have only one concern in mind. I land at 2115. Will I make it to the 22:45 tawan single show? Will I succeed on satisfying my crave for a good muscle worship session? Again, way too long for a post that does not contain sex. Lol. But I promise, next post will be more interesting. I'll continue soon.

Just landed! I wanna write as close as possible to the experience while my memory is fresh and accurate. This is my third trip report and my third trip to Thailand. In the last couple of months I decided I need one final trip of fun before I become a father (in just one month!!). Some of my friends suggested we go for that purpose to Amsterdam and Berlin and we started planning that trip. But, when a friend of mine who is living in Koh Phangan suggested I come and visit him, I decided to take that opportunity (and excuse) to visit what has become my favorite city in the world, Bangkok. I will re introduce myself. Israeli 32 yo married guy. Love to travel the world both alone and together with my partner. When we are together we are in kind of a closed relationship – we have sex with other people but only together. When we are apart we do whatever we want. That is probably the main reason I love traveling alone. I also love clubbing which was less possible this journey considering the Thai situation. This was a very short trip, so probably this report will be short as well. Nonetheless it was totally worth the long journey and exceeded my expectations. For me, The trip started actually a week before the flight. I changed my GPS to Le meridien in Bangkok. I originally planned to stay in Tarantawan but as the trip came closer I realised I wanted a more pampering hotel and one with a 24 hour gym (the reason for that will become clear later on). So in the week I8ve been FakeGPSing to BKk I talked to lots of guys, mostly local. I already know, from previous trips, that my stocks are higher in BKK than TLV so I aimed only to what was for me really hot guys. I had too many contacts considering I was planning only 2 non consecutive nights in BKK. But I'd rather have it this way than the other way around. Regarding the apps, I will say that on a discussion here that occurred last month I stated that Grindr always works best for me anywhere in the world. I take that back since as I think it was Firecat that stated - Hornet works in BKK almost as good as grindr and allows notifications and multiple photos. Still, guys per square kilometer is lower in Hornet than Grindr but I can see the advantages of Hornet. And it was Hornet that helped me find the guy that became my almost monogamous BF for this trip. So before coming to Bangkok, I saw on Hornet a really hot guy. He looked Israeli or Arab to me but I was wrong (although not too wrong). He was a little too tall for me but I was willing to try since he was both beautiful and muscular. He also wore a really provocative gay shirt which I really liked. So my pick up line for him on Hornet was "I can't decide what I want more, your shirt, or you". I was afraid that was too direct since we Israelis tend to be that way but he replied "you can have either, or both". Apparently he made this shirt by himself and he is starting his way as a designer in BKK. So once I realized that I can really have them both I got really excited. And since he is at the beginning of his journey, the price he takes is really low. I wanted to add a picture of my magnificent, provocative, new gay shirt but I realized he signed it at the bottom and I do respect his anonymity in this post. Also some of the detalis in this paragraph are blurred to keep his anonymity. Now after a way too long prologue, to my trip. I flew from TLV through Amman with Jordanian airlins. An 11 hour journey which is about the same length as taking the direct route with the shitty Israeli airline that can't fly above most Arab countries so they do a big detour. Landed at Bangkok 4PM October 17th. Bought a sim card (250 baht), took a taxi (400 baht) to the meridien (110 usd a night) and quickly went to drinks at soi twilight since I had an hour to kill till until I get my shirt and hopefully the guy that comes with it. Soi twilight was kinda empty but it was still rather early in the evening. Sat for a beer at the first bar on the left (hotmale?), had a conversation with another foreign couple while the Thai guys started talking to me offering me all kinds of dirty offers but non of them were my taste so I just laid back and enjoyed the conversation and the atmosphere. After an hour I returned to my hotel and waited in the lobby for thr guy and my shirt. When he came I was way excited since he was as hot as his pictures was. In my room we tried the shirt. He was stressed that the size was not right and suggested he make a new one, smaller but I liked that it was not tight and really liked how it looked on me. After I got my shirt, it was time to see if the guy was really into more. We sat on my bed and started talking and not after a long time I started kissing him. I usually can know if sex will be good for me just by kissing. It may sound weird but for me kissing is the most important part of sex and kissing with him was awsome. After about an half an hour of kissing, touching, sucking he wanted to fuck me. I then remembered that we never talked about what we liked before. He probably assumed that if he is taller than me then I will botton for him. I told him i don't bottom, not even for my husband since I really hate the pain. He happily opened his legs for me and I had a really good time with him. After we both cum twice it was about 1030 and he suggested if I have time we go to dinner. That was for me the dilemma point of this trip. I had to choose between spending more time with a guy that I Just met but know he is good for me both sexually and friendly or just carry on to my plans and go to Tawan and see what the night brings on me. If it would have happened to me when I was younger I would definitely carry on to the next guy and adventure. But I am wiser now, and experience taught me - if you have something good enjoy it while you can. So I decided to have dinner with him. He took me to a Lebanese restaurant in Silom which was nice. When we finished it was almost midnight. I offered him to spend the night with me and he agreed happily. Night with him was exciting. I'm not used to holding all night a big handsome muscular guy and got horny really fast again so I started playing with his ass while he sleeps and slowly woke him up (it was about 4am) only to have sex again. And same thing at about 9am. Although it was quite a sleepless night I felt refreshed and we went to breakfest at 10am. Breakfast was high clas and we returned to the room to make out some more. He then asked me if I want him to leave so I can have some alone time and that was indeed exactly what I wanted. So we kissed goodbye, and I told him I'll talk to him when I return to BKK after koh phangan. Although all my big plans for that night changed, I was determined to make the most of the few hours left till my flight to Koh Phangan. I went to Arena. A little hard to find at the beginning but after going back and forth the street I succeeded. When I entered it was probably 2pm. Once I entered immediately all the guys stood up in front of me and a guy explained to me the details. I took a 1 hour oil massage. Choosing the guy was easy for me since I wanted a big muscular masseur that will try and compensate for my lost Tawan evening. There was only one guy that fit that description so I chose him. I don't remember his name but I now see that his name in Line is นพภาณุ which translates in google to Panu. So maybe thats his name. The massage part was nice for that kind of massage but the best part was when he told me to turn and oiled himself as well. At that point he understood how much his body turned me on and started flexing while allowing to enjoy his hard flexed muscles. It didn't take me long to cum after that. It was a really good Tawan compensation. We then showered together and he cleaned all my body and I cleaned his. Before I left he wanted to show me some of his pics from gym since he knew it would turn me on, and so it did. He than asked for my phone so he could add me on Line. It was kind of purpose less since I had too little time and too much to do. But I took it anyway so if anyone wants a nice bodybuilder and enjoy his muscular body, PM me and I'll send you his details. Although if someone thinks that sending those details is inappropriate, please tell me that since I'm not always sure how those things work and if it is common to share that info here. I had 2 hours till I needed to leave to my flight. I returned to Le meridien, checked out, and did what every gay guy in BKK would do when needed to kill time - Babylon. Although I was not horny (I did cum 5 times in about 15 hours!), I wanted to chill there and if someone is hot enough maybe have some fun. Arrived to babylon at about 3pm with my luggage. I had two hours. I started exploring the maze and steam rooms. None of the guys were my type. I got sucked several times by some Asian twinks but did not want to go to the room with neither of them. After an hour of fun and exploring the sauna I decided to relax by the pool with some electronic music. I took from my suitcase my very gay and minimal bathinh suit. I decided to check if my phone is water proof as they claim it is and swam for another half an hour with music which was really fun. After that I took my luggage and went to Suvarnabhumi for my flight to Samui. On the way there I started contemplating on the thought to arrive to BKK not on Saturday the 22nd but a day earlier and enjoy the entire weekend back in BKK. This came out way longer than I expected. I'll write more soon.

This post has no purpose but to express my excitement towards this upcoming trip. I'm writing this while waiting for my flight to BKK in Ben Gurion Airport. I've been waiting for this trip for a couple of months. It's a short one - only a week. But that's exactly what I need, just me alone again in the city of sins. This is my third time. I've learned my lessons from previous trips. This time I started fakeGPSing last week and now have too many guys I wanna meet considering this short time - and that excludes all the saunas, massages, and also maybe offing. Just got out of my BFs car who gave me his blessing to do what the fuck I want Good night Tel Aviv, and good evening Bangkok! I would like to dedicate to all of you the song that is playing now in my headphones. This is one of my favorite tracks during sex, by the world famous gay Israeli DJ, Offer Nissim: https://youtu.be/eq_vflJkBzc SLUT MODE - ON!!!

Nope.

This is from an article: In the same address, Prayut said Thailand would hold a one-year mourning period while all entertainment functions must be "toned down" for 30 days. Wonder whar does "toned down" mean...

I have some Grindr friends in BKK that promised to update me regarding that. Just have to wait a bit and see.

It has now been officially announced.

Yes, thanks. I'm headed there Monday and will keep a close eye on it.

OK, didn't know that. Updated.

Why keep it vague if it is in the news? If it's insensitive or something I can delete it.

Has anyone heard of it? Is it good? I just reviewed all the listings again to make sure I am familiar with then all and this one is new and written it's from the owner of former HERO. Reviews inside are probably fake. https://www.travelgayasia.com/venue/gm-club-61/

Hehe glad you realized that I was imagining them all naked in the lobby, on display, waiting for me lol. Good thing you lowered my expectations for that to happen...

Vinapu, I just remembered that after my first trip report, back in October 13, you said that you never visited Tawan before... Glad you compensated for that

Wow. Great report. Got some inspiration towards my next visit. Good job!

In accordance to what is already written here: when I travel I like to see what happens in all the apps. I usually open Grindr, Jacked, Hornet, Gay Romeo & Scruff. Considering the massive changes in trends, I think that it's safe to look back 2 years back and say that in all the places I visited* - Grindr was by far the most successful for me. *Israel, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, China, France, England, Belgium, Switzerland, Hungry, South Africa, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain, USA, Canada, Germany, Sweden

Ok so that settles it, I'll go for both of them - Arena & Prince Nothing to be afraid of, unless you are a (not so smart) american student that decides to pull some pranks there (this happened just a few of months after my return). When you go there, they explain you the DO's and DON'T's. It's quite simple and not that intimidating as it sounds. Guys are already naked?! I'll be there alright...

Just read this entire report, seems like you had a blast! Sounds like a great vacation. Great report! I will remember some of these numbers and hopefully they'll be there when I get there since that is the only bar I plan on visiting too

I'll keep that in mind - but as a plan B right? Is there a consensus that the hottest (which is for me means muscular guys, age doesn't matter) are at Arena? Or it is just a matter of luck the time I come between Arena, Prince & Senso. Thanks, I did not know that there is a "most like content" page, that is nice I read the entire post again a couple of days ago and it made me smile and nostalgic. Writing is the best way to remember - otherwise all the fun details gets blurry and forgotten. Although I do still have a general memory that trip the details were forgotten and it's the details that makes things special and unique. So I'm really happy I took (a lot of) time to write that too long post. About NK - I do regret so much for not writing. I came back to TLV with all the intention of writing but my thesis needed much more urgent writing. Now, especially after re reading my long post - I really regret it cause most of the details are probably gone. LOL. No they are bigger than me - that's what makes these bodybuilders my fetish - They achieved what I'm slowly trying to but not succeeding on reaching that level. I just mentioned that in the mere hope that there is a BB in the crowd I do regret not writing about it while it is all still fresh in my head. NK was a part of a bigger east Asian trip I did last summer on my self (the army didn't let my husband enter NK). I did Beijing (2 nights), Pyongyang (4 nights), Shanghai (3 nights) and Seoul (4 nights). In general I can say about all the other places besides NK that what I did involved mainly fun, parties and Grindr guys LOL. On that manner china was kind of disappointing and Seoul was awesome. I did visit and do other stuff but that's way more blurry now in my memory. But this entire journey's purpose was visiting NK. It was an organised trip that flew to Pyongyang from Beijing. There are several agencies that do that. I used - Young Pioneer Tours. I regret not taking the longer trip options but I was scared of the thought of touring in a group and not being able to control my own itinerary so I took the short tour. It was the most fascinating experience I ever had as a traveler - it was landing back in time in a different planet with tight and weird rules. It is of course a heavily monitored tour by the NK government but even so you still get to be see and get a clue of that place. Of course you don't get to see the camps or horrible conditions - but they do expose you to some of the horrible poverty outside Pyongyang and by what they are willing you to see, you can only imagine how poor are the places they are not willing you to see. And of course we visited all the important cultural sites in Pyongyang. Highly recommended tour. About 1100 euors more or less.

After 2 years of betraying BKK with other cities, I got a surprising chance for a one week getaway to visit a friend of mine that recently moved to koh phangan. This trip is my last trip before me and my husband become parents so even though I only got 2 non consecutive nights in BKK and 4 nights in Koh Phangan- I'm determined to make the most out of it. Especially with my beloved BKK. 32yo muscular Israeli guy here. Since my last (and second) visit to BKK was 2 years ago, I wanna make sure I have my plans ready because there will be no time for mistakes. Here is what I plan on doing, would love to hear if you think my plans are good. Landing BKK at 4pm October 17th. It's a Monday so probably slow night but maybe that's good - more guys for me. Staying at the tarntawan. Thinking about going straight to Tawan. I have a muscle worship fetish to satisfy which is my first priority. After that probably will go to r3 or sauna mania. Any opinions where will there be more muscular asian guys? Morning/noon after must get a massage from a hot guy, thought about Arena. Am I right? What time should I get there? After that flying to Samui and straight on the ferry to Koh Phangan. Any thoughts on what to expect regarding gay fun there? Returning Saturday the 22nd to bkk. I think ill off a bodybuilder again in Tawan, then party late in DJ and GOD then sauna again till I'm dead. Probably massage the day after and maybe a visit to gay church - Babylon. Leaving Sunday night. Yes it is short. I know. No other choice. Any thoughts about new and better places to go other the ones I mentioned? I'm so happy and excited I managed to sqeeze BKK again P.S if anyone wants to meet for drinks (probably at tawan lol), msg me.

Time difference is not that bad (5 hours) so i actually hope ill sleep well during the night flight and be able to enjoy my first day in Beijing but maybe I'm being naive. Also what I understood now is that it's landing at 13PM (which is 8AM my local time - that was my mistake) so you are right that this day won't be that productive. I'll try to make the most out of the afternoon ,evening and night. A traditional sauna has action in it or it's just a sauna? I heard about the Hamilton. I started chatting with guys from Seoul on Jacked to try and understand where to stay. Most of them mentioned the Hamilton but said that there is a better hotel called IP Boutique Hotel so I'm thinking of booking that one. I can look at hotel sites and compare them for hours. It's like porn but without cumming so I can go on and on... LOL. As I mentioned this time I decided to get advice from locals regarding accommodation so I'm consulting locals via Jacked and hopefully this will not take that much time although I guess it's part of the fun.

Plane ticket booked! So my trip goes like this: TLV - > Beijing - Landing in Beijing at the 11th of August at 0830 AM. 2 nights. Beijing -> Pyongyang - 4 nights Pyongyang -> Beijing - Here I'm not sure whether to stay another night in Beijing. Beijing -> Shanghai- 3-4 nights Shanghai-> Seoul - 3-4 nights Seoul -> TLV Now I have 2.5 questions: 1. Regarding Beijing, I am landing back from NK and have 2 options: the first is to leave straight to Shanghai and the second is to have another night in Beijing (after already spending 48 hours there). The main advantage of the first is that I am already in the airport when returning from NK so maybe going back to the city for 24 hours is a little too much. The second option is nice since all of you said wonderful things regarding Beijing and also I am thinking of maybe taking the Bullet Train to Shanghai since it might be a nice experience so the airport advantage looses it's advantage in this case. Any thoughts? 2. The weekend - Since one of the 2 weekends will be in NK and will probably not include fun gay stuff, I wanna make the most out of the second weekend. I have two options: the first is to spend Friday eve in Shanghai and Saturday eve in Seoul that way I taste them both on the weekend. This leaves Seoul with only 3 nights. The second is to leave Shanghai Friday morning and spend the entire weekend in Seoul. I read in some sites that say that Shanghai's gay scene (parties, saunas etc.) is really developed and that it is really worth exploring. Any experience regarding any of them? 2.5 Over planning - Should I just not think about any of these issues and decide while I travel? Thanks again, wrote all the recommendations regarding sites to visit. Now I just have to wait 4 mounts....

You are right. The trip to NK did raise several moral issues: Am I providing them money to sponsor their vicious leader? Am I cooperating with one of the world's most evil regimes? Why do I feel the need to go and see such a bad place when there are so many nice places I haven't seen. I am not sure that I have a good answer to all these questions but I decided to go anyway. In this post you can read some remarks regarding "is travelling to NK ethical". I personally think some of his claims are pure self-rationalization and I don't buy them. I guess I just wanna go there so I decided to disregard the ethical perspective. Just like I do living my normal day to day life in Tel Aviv while 50KM eastwards my government is continuing it's ongoing evil occupation over the Palestinians for almost half a decade. Which in my perspective, my indifference, is much worse than travelling a week in NK. Maybe after my trip I'll have another opinion. Really?! I was sure Shanghai's gay scene is much better. Some of the websites describe SH gay scene as better than HK's gay scene. I am starting to think maybe I should skip Seoul this time and maybe spend some more time in Beijing... Or maybe just dedicate more time to BJ than I intended to. This is always a dilemma. Spending more time in each city or spending less time and seeing more. I know most people prefer the former but I am always afraid that I won't have time in the near future doing this kind of long travel distances so I tend to go for the latter. Me and my husband will start a surrogacy procedure soon and expecting to be parents maybe even before next year's summer so that will probably put an end to all my travelling plans for the next few years so I am trying to get the most out of what time there is left for me to travel and have fun Thanks all for the advice! I am still gathering info and once my itinerary is closed i'll come and ask for more specific advice.

Hey everyone, I just started planning my next summer trip and would like some advice. Considering the great advice I got from people here on my last couple of trips, I immediately decided to consult with you guys once again. My trip does not include Thailand this time so I hope it's OK for me to post here. The inspiration for this summer's trip started only a month after I returned from BKK on Sep 14. I started to read a book called "Nothing to envy" about North Korea. After investigating a little I decided that this summer I will visit there. Once again, I am going alone since my BF is in the Israeli army and they don't like the idea of him travelling to North Korea. This leaves me, once again, alone in Asia. Which is not that bad for me. I got for this trip 15 days. 5 days of them I'll be in North Korea on a group tour. The question is where to go besides NK. My sketched plan now is: TLV -> Seoul (4 nights) -> Shanghai (4 nights) -> Beijing (1 night - must be there for my NK visa) -> NK (4 nights) -> Beijing (1 night) -> TLV. Considering the fact that I like exploring big cities and less into country side, I ask this: 1. Shanghai vs. Seoul - 4 nights each is a proper distribution of time? 2. Any general thoughts regarding other or better places to go to? 3. My impression is that Beijing is less interesting than Seoul or Shanghai. Is that correct? 4. Any accommodation advice? Gay travel advice? Thanks in advanced!
